Rarely does an architectural artifact of true San Francisco resilience hit the market. Welcome to 30 Niantic Avenue, a beautifully transformed 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home that seamlessly bridges historic preservation with modern city living. The upper level of this Craftsman-style cottage consists of two officially certified, original 1908 “Type A” Earthquake Relief Cottages. Built in the aftermath of the Great Earthquake and Fire, these historic structures were structurally raised and preserved intact during a brilliant 2006 expansion. Today, the upper level features gorgeous natural light, a timeless clawfoot bathtub, and unmatched historic prestige. Also on the upper level is a fully equipped kitchen with gas range, dining room, and one of the bedrooms. The engineered first-floor level complements its heritage with modern comforts, including a bright family room, a spacious bedroom, and a bathroom with Saltillo tiled stall shower and stackable laundry. Step outside into a deep, fully fenced lot offering rare RV/boat parking capabilities accessible via a paved rear alley and double gate, plus an additional dedicated parking pad right outside the gate. Tucked away in the historic Ingleside Heights district aka Merced Extended Triangle, this home offers incredibly convenient commuter access near Interstate 280, the Daly City BART station and MUNI. Plus this location has close proximity to the beach (10min), Westlake Shopping Center (7 min to Trader Joe's, Home Depot, Safeway, Ross, JoAnn, Burlington, Chipotle, Starbucks and more) and it is right around the corner from H Mart, Extreme Pizza and Subway. Don’t miss this once-in-a-generation opportunity to own, preserve, and live inside a living monument to San Francisco’s enduring spirit. This larger lot may offer potential for future expansion, ADU, or additional garage — buyer to verify all zoning, permit, and building requirements with the appropriate city/county agencies. Neither seller nor broker makes representations regarding future modifications.
